Fan An accidentally saw Bai Qiongyu outside the Meridian Gate of Fengyang. The man was with Yuanzhu and brought a few attendants from the mansion with him. He saw him from a distance, trotted up to help him by the arm, and asked, "My lord, how is it?" How? Is there any blame on the Holy One?"

"You don't stay in the mansion, you come here to wait for me, are you afraid that the Holy Admiral will dismiss me?" Fan An looked at him, and suddenly said, "Master Li's dismissal this time is all thanks to you."

Bai Qiongyu froze for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Why did your lord say such a thing?!"

"At that time, you were by Mr. Li's horse, who were you?" Fan An said, "I think you just want to harm me."

Bai Qiongyu stopped walking when she heard the words, her face turned pale with anger. "Your Excellency...you have wronged me." He seemed to be stabbed by Fan An, heartbroken and wronged, and took a few deep breaths, as if he was about to cry.

"Don't do this in front of me. I don't want to do what you do." Fan An stood up straight and said to Yuan Zhu next to him, "You all go back, just take care of the two young masters. I won't go back yet, I I have to go to the Li Mansion again."

Yuan Zhu said: "I just saw that Imperial Physician Liu left the palace from Yemen, did he also go to Li's mansion? The people in Li's mansion are angry with your lord, so your lord should not go. If you must go, it's better to go more Take two house slaves."

Fan An thought it was reasonable, if he was covered with a cloth bag again, he might die.Immediately, he picked two strong domestic servants and escorted them to Li's residence.

He knew that people in Li's residence would definitely not let him in to see a doctor, so he didn't go to the door to ask for an interview, but waited under the edge of the wall diagonally opposite Li's residence.The door attendant of Li's residence saw him and saw that he was standing far away, so he didn't come to question him, and no one came out to beat him.It must be because the mansion is so busy that no one has time to talk to him.

It wasn't until after Xu time, when the sky was getting dark, that Fan An saw Imperial Physician Liu leave from the gate of Li Mansion.He saw Liu Huichun carrying the black medicine box into the carriage and driving out of the road, so he started to chase after him.

He was chasing Taiji Liu in the street, Liu Huichun in the carriage heard it, stopped the carriage and stuck his head out.Fan An went forward to grab his axle, leaning against the horse fence and panting for a few breaths.

When Fan An first came to Beijing, Liu Huichun had prescribed typhoid fever for his two young sons. He recognized Fan An and immediately asked, "Master Fan, why are you here?"

"I've been waiting for you all the time!" Fan An said anxiously, "You just came out of Li's residence. How's Mr. Li's illness going? Is your life in danger?"

"Lord Fan, don't worry." Liu Huichun said, "He hurt his internal organs due to a fall, and his energy is exhausted. He can just rest for a while, and there is no danger of his life."

Fan An stared at him and smiled, and stroked his chest before he felt relieved. "It's fine as long as it's fine." He shook Liu Huichun's hand and said, "Thank you Master Liu, I'll pay you a visit sometime later."

"What did Mr. Fan say?" He took a closer look at Fan An, saw the bruise on his face, and understood in his heart that Fan An was handsome, and he seemed honest and honest in his daily actions and words. He had very little acquaintance with Fan An, but he had a very good impression of Fan An in his heart. He sighed and kindly persuaded him, "To tell you the truth, I heard in Li's residence that it was Mr. Fan who offended Mr. Li, and this happened today. People in Li's residence are scolding you, don't stay here at this time, go back quickly."

Fan Andao is yes yes, I understand this.He let go of the horse shaft, and said: "Master Liu, go slowly, I will go back to the mansion first." Liu Huichun responded twice, put down the curtain and left.Fan An watched him leave, turned around and took a long breath, and said, "It's fine..."

He walked back while muttering, he didn't want to take two steps, and suddenly his eyes became dark and he fell down.He had a stick wound on his body, he had been tense and guilty all day, and his guts were hanging in his throat, but now he suddenly recovered from this tone, his mind lost his mind, and he couldn't hold it anymore and passed out.

His dizziness frightened the two servants behind him, so he immediately picked up Fan An and rushed to his house.

The mansion invited a doctor to come for a consultation.Except for a few stick wounds on the flesh, there is nothing serious about it. My lord is palpitations, shortness of breath, anxiety and sweating, just for a while, drink some water, and get a good night's sleep. The doctor said, to put it bluntly, your lord is scared caught.

Everyone in the mansion breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Qiongyu sat beside Fan An's bed, touched Fan An's face and shed tears: "Why bother, my lord? It's just a third-rank Shangshu. If you lose it because of this, you will lose it, and it will hurt your body." But it’s not worth it. You still have two sons, what’s wrong, how can I support them by myself..." Luckily, Fan An hadn’t woken up yet, when he heard it, he might fall back three feet and splatter three Husband.

The doctor was right, Fan An's illness would be healed after a night of sleep.His body was able to withstand the toss, and when he woke up the next day, he went up as usual.It's just that he often loses his mind and wanders away.

Li Jianbi's body is expensive and her internal organs are injured, and it won't get better in a while.Although he was not in the court, he did not dare to waste a day on the matter of the inspection and recording. He was sick and went to work. wind chill.

Fan An went to Li's Mansion every day after the court, and waited in front of Li's Mansion if he couldn't ask to see him.He apologized and his heart was moved, but Li Jianbi inside was indifferent.

Li Jianbi didn't come to the court, but he couldn't ignore the disturbances in the court.The censor Zhongcheng went to Li Jianbi's mansion to report every day, and every time he saw Fan An in the carriage, he couldn't help but tease and sarcasm.

This day he saw Fan An's carriage again, he stood outside and shouted: "Oh, Mr. Fan, are you still waiting? Are you free all day long?"

Fan An raised the curtain of the car and glanced at him, with a brush in his hand.There was a pile of case files in the carriage. It turned out that this man moved all the desks for handling cases into the carriage.He knew that this person was mocking him, but he was so thick-skinned that he was not angry at all.

"Master Li, how are you these days?" He still smiled, and while speaking, he picked up a medicine bag from his hand and handed it to Yushi Zhongcheng, "I have some herbs here, which were brought from Ping County in western Hunan by someone. , is a folk prescription, but there is no one in the capital, you ask the people in the house to cook a few flavors for Mr. Li." He said again, "Let's say you gave it to Mr. Li."

Yushi Zhongcheng Gao Xu took the herb, weighed it with a smile, and said yes, I will send it to you right away.He entered Li's mansion, passed by the lotus pond in the atrium, and originally wanted to throw the medicine bag in to feed the fish, but he hesitated for a while, then took it back.

Li Jianbi was reading the case files in the dormitory, Gao Xu walked up and greeted him, put the package of herbal medicine on Li Jianbi's desk lightly, and said, sir, this is the medicine that Fan Pingqiu sent you, this person is already outside the door I have been waiting for you for half a month.

Li Jianbi dipped his pen and ink without raising his head, and said calmly: "Really?" He wrote a few instructions on the yellow booklet while speaking, suddenly coughed, and the tip of the pen flicked, leaving a drop of blood on the booklet stain.Feeling upset, he put down his pen.

He had been ill for half a month, and his face was pale. At this time, he was wearing a green robe with wide sleeves and woven bamboo, and he looked even more pale and thin.

The house slave handed him a brocade handkerchief, saying that my lord should pay attention to his health.Li Jianbi wiped the red ink on the tiger's mouth indifferently, and asked Gao Xu: "Is there anything going on in the court today?"

"Yes." Gao Xu said, "The Holy One took the initiative to ask about Yang Qian's case this morning."

Li Jianbi stopped and thought for a moment.Yang Qian's case has been dragged on for several months, and Yang Qian has also been waiting in prison for several months, saying that he is awaiting trial, but the Holy Majesty has not issued an order.Yang Qian's cousin is the emperor's favorite concubine. Li Jianbi knew that the emperor would not decree Yang Qian's dismissal, but the evidence of Yang Qian's corruption and dereliction of duty was conclusive.

Li Jibi originally thought that Liu Xi had made a plan to delay the case to death.A few years ago, the minister of the cabinet, Meng Baijiang, was also like this. He was convicted of capital crime with solid evidence, but he could not order to kill him because of the face of the emperor, so he imprisoned Meng Baijiang for three years in the name of awaiting trial, until Meng Baijiang died of illness in prison. , took several jailers in the prison to interrogate him, but nothing happened.

In Yang Qian's case, the cabinet and Lantai's memorials were all retained, and there was no intention to transfer it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for re-examination. Li Jianbi originally thought that this was the end of the matter.I don't want His Majesty to take the initiative to mention it today, so there will be variables.

Li Jianbi said: "Is Fan Pingqiu in court today? Does he have any indication?"

"Master Fan is very clever, he didn't say a single word from the beginning to the end." Gao Xu said, "The Holy Majesty only casually asked about the progress of the Dali Temple case, and didn't mean to urge him."

"If the Holy Majesty didn't intend to investigate carefully, why would he ask casually? There must be changes in this case. The people in Dali Temple have not made any progress, and they will not be handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate..." Li Jianbi said, "It will definitely be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Now it seems that the sage has already made a plan." Li Jianbi said, "Fan Pingqiu took over the case as soon as he returned to court. He must have been unable to do what he wanted. Now that he has been in office for almost half a year, the sage sees it and thinks it's time. Leave the case to him."

"But Fan Pingqiu is timid and fearful. If Yang Qian falls into his hands, there is no guarantee that he will be acquitted." Gao Xu said, "This case has been pursued by the procuratorate for so long, and now it has achieved little success. It is handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. , it must be soaked in soup."

Li Jianbi lowered his head and rubbed his palms, and said: "3000 taels of gold, the gold and silver that Yang Qian covets can be punished with death. No matter how biased Fan Laiqiu's heart is, he will not be pardoned without guilt."

Gao Xu said: "My lord is right, but with such a turn, Yang Qian is definitely not going to die."

"But there was no turning back. Lantai had offended the Yang family when he impeached Yang Qian. Yang Qian was Liang Yenian's student and Concubine Rong's elder brother. To be in charge of Dali Temple must be my strong enemy in Lantai." Li Jianbi said, "So Yang Qian must die."

As he spoke, he suddenly glanced at Gao Xu, and asked, "Is Fan Pingqiu still outside the gate? I suddenly miss him very much, let him come in for a cup of tea."
